Run SMART client Charlie Hartel signed up for coaching back in November of 2009 and has been working with coach Vince Sherry ever since. Before he joined The Project he had just run 50:16 (8:06 per mile) for 10k. Recently, he dropped 21 seconds off his 4-mile PR, the second time he’s lowered it since working with Vince, finishing in 25:46 (6:27 per mile). To see Charlie go from a guy averaging 8:06 per mile for 10k to 6:27’s for 4 miles is a huge transformation. He’s turning into quite the runner these days and we’re proud to see him continue to progress.
